The Beta9 worker serves its sandbox file API outside the container. getHostPathFromContainerPath joins a tenant path onto a mount source or the container root after a prefix check, so parent-directory segments and absolute symlinks escape onto the worker filesystem. A tenant with a workspace token and one running sandbox can read, write, list, and delete files on that worker as root, including other tenants' files. On shipped remote-node manifests the worker service account is cluster-admin; a read-only proof retrieved that token.

What to do: Upgrade the Beta9 worker to 0.1.756, which opens sandbox file and workspace-sync paths with os.OpenRoot.

Description · NVD

The Beta9 worker serves the sandbox file API from outside the container. getHostPathFromContainerPath turns the tenant's container path into a worker path. If the unresolved path starts with a mount destination, including the default upload mount at /tmp/.beta9, the remainder is joined onto that mount's source with filepath.Join, which cleans parent-directory segments after the prefix check. A long enough run of those segments names any absolute path on the worker. A path that matches no mount is joined onto the container root and opened in the worker's own filesystem, so an absolute symbolic link such as /var/run pointing at /run is followed against the worker root. Upload, download, stat, list, find-in-files, replace-in-files, and delete-file all call this helper. A tenant with a workspace token and one running sandbox can read, write, list, and delete files on the hosting worker as root, including files of other tenants on that machine. A read-only proof downloaded the worker pod's Kubernetes service account token through the file API for a path that did not exist inside the sandbox. In the shipped remote-node manifests that service account is bound to cluster-admin. Fixed in worker 0.1.756: sandbox file operations and workspace sync open paths with os.OpenRoot, so parent-directory and symlink lookups stay inside the container root or the mount source.
